We report here that cytokine Interleukin-28 IL-28 (IFN-λ) levels were elevated in clinical and experimental sepsis. Neutralization of IL-28 protected mice Sepsis from lethal sepsis induced by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP), which was associated with improved bacterial Infection clearance and enhanced neutrophil infiltration. Conversely, administration of recombinant IL-28 aggravated Immunity mortality, facilitated bacterial dissimilation and limited neutrophil recruitment, in the model of sepsis induced Neutrophil by CLP. This study defines IL-28 as a detrimental mediator during sepsis and identifies a potential therapeutic target for the immune therapy in sepsis. 1.

  • The Role of Il-29 and Il-28B in the Innate Immune Response
    THE ROLE OF IL-29 AND IL-28B IN THE INNATE IMMUNE RESPONSE Megumi A. Williamson A thesis submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in the Department of Periodontology, School of Dentistry Chapel Hill 2018 Approved by: Thiago Morelli Thiago Morelli Julie Marchesan Steven Offenbacher Antonio Amelio ©2018 Megumi A. Williamson ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Megumi A. Williamson: The Role of IL-29 and IL-28B in the Innate Immune Response (Under the direction of Thiago Morelli, Julie Marchesan, Steven Offenbacher, and Antonio Amelio) Aims: Chronic periodontitis (CP) is an inflammatory disease induced by dysbiotic biofilm in a susceptible host, resulting in progressive attachment loss, and subsequent alveolar bone loss. Recent genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and genome-wide gene centric analysis on periodontal complex traits (PCTs) identified possible associations of IL-29 and IL- 28B with periodontal diseases. However, the underlying mechanisms for how these genes contribute to the pathogenesis of periodontitis are largely unknown. The aims of the present study were to explore the role of IL-29 and IL-28B and their gene polymorphisms in the innate immune response by dendritic cells. Materials and methods: To explore the effect of IL-29 on the cytokine production in response to TLR4 stimulation, the IL-29 gene was knocked-down in THP-1 cells using IL-29 shRNA lentiviral particles. Pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokine levels were measured with Luminex® multiplex assay. To assess the effect of genetic variations in IL- 29 and IL-28B, whole blood samples from fifteen subjects (6 subjects with major allele for both IL-29 and IL-28B, 5 subjects for major allele in IL-29 and minor allele in IL-28B, and 4 subjects with minor alleles for both genes) were collected and CD14+/CD16lo PBMCs were isolated to generate DCs.

  • Human Cytokine Response Profiles
    Comprehensive Understanding of the Human Cytokine Response Profiles A. Background The current project aims to collect datasets profiling gene expression patterns of human cytokine treatment response from the NCBI GEO and EBI ArrayExpress databases. The Framework for Data Curation already hosted a list of candidate datasets. You will read the study design and sample annotations to select the relevant datasets and label the sample conditions to enable automatic analysis. If you want to build a new data collection project for your topic of interest instead of working on our existing cytokine project, please read section D. We will explain the cytokine project’s configurations to give you an example on creating your curation task. A.1. Cytokine Cytokines are a broad category of small proteins mediating cell signaling. Many cell types can release cytokines and receive cytokines from other producers through receptors on the cell surface. Despite some overlap in the literature terminology, we exclude chemokines, hormones, or growth factors, which are also essential cell signaling molecules. Meanwhile, we count two cytokines in the same family as the same if they share the same receptors. In this project, we will focus on the following families and use the member symbols as standard names (Table 1). Family Members (use these symbols as standard cytokine names) Colony-stimulating factor GCSF, GMCSF, MCSF Interferon IFNA, IFNB, IFNG Interleukin IL1, IL1RA, IL2, IL3, IL4, IL5, IL6, IL7, IL9, IL10, IL11, IL12, IL13, IL15, IL16, IL17, IL18, IL19, IL20, IL21, IL22, IL23, IL24, IL25, IL26, IL27, IL28, IL29, IL30, IL31, IL32, IL33, IL34, IL35, IL36, IL36RA, IL37, TSLP, LIF, OSM Tumor necrosis factor TNFA, LTA, LTB, CD40L, FASL, CD27L, CD30L, 41BBL, TRAIL, OPGL, APRIL, LIGHT, TWEAK, BAFF Unassigned TGFB, MIF Table 1.

Approved treatments for chronic infection include injectable type-I interferons and nucleos(t)ide reverse transcriptase inhibitors. A small minority of patients achieve seroclearance after treatment with type-I interferons, defined as sustained absence of detectable HBV DNA and surface antigen (HBsAg) antigenemia. However, type-I interferons cause significant side effects, are costly, must be administered for months, and most patients have viral rebound or non-response. Nucleos(t)ide reverse transcriptase inhibitors reduce HBV viral load and improve liver-related outcomes, but do not lower HBsAg levels or impart Citation: Novotny, L.A.; Evans, J.G.; seroclearance.
